Ex-Indiana pastor gets 12 years for sex with girl, 'I became a fool' [You think?!]

.This has got to be the sickest person ever! A real sicko!! And, obviously, idiocy must be contagious, for the fool who is his wife claims the relationship he had with the minor was "consensual!" She is contemptible! As are the school and the church directors, both of which have expelled her and her family from their midst! What a sick bunch!

Interestingly, while claiming to be working 100 hours a week, he had the time to write long hand-written love letters to this young and vulnerable girl! Prostate troubles had he? Well, that being the anatomical end with which he was directing his life, indeed, he should be having a lot of troubles!

One is in need of intestinal fortitude to read the Sentencing Memorandum, when it comes to the letters Schaap writes! Truly nauseating! How terrifying that such have any who dare support his filth, they to be just as filthy themselves, no doubt!

Even more disturbing that there be so many such who purport to be shepherds of Christ's flock, when in reality they to be no more than wolves in sheep's clothing!

Ex-Indiana pastor gets 12 years

for sex with girl,

'I became a fool'

Prosecutors file memorandum outlining 'grooming' of underage victim

Former First Baptist Church
of Hammond pastor Jack A. Schaap faces 10 years in prison and 10 years
of supervision per the terms of his guilty plea.

Jack Schaap, the former pastor
of a 15,000-member northwest Indiana megachurch, was sentenced today to
12 years in prison for engaging in sex with a troubled underage girl who
sought him out for counseling.

In a statement, the victim wrote
that Schaap would text her from the altar during his sermons. In another
statement, written as a letter to Schaap, she wrote: “When you first
kissed me I was shocked. . .When I asked you if it was wrong, you said
‘No.’ You told me that I was sent you from God, I was his gift to you.
You made me feel special.”

Schaap entered a guilty plea
last September in a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting to
allegations that led to his ouster from the highly conservative Hammond
Baptist Church that his late father in-law, Jack Hyles, had built into
one of the area’s largest churches.

But at sentencing today, U.S.
District Court Judge Rudy Lozano said a 10-year-deal hammered out by
both sides did not meet the 12-year-mimum required under federal
sentencing guidelines. Schaap stared at the judge without emotion.

While
Lozano lauded Schaap for quickly pleading guilty last fall before the
complaint was even filed, Lozano said he did not want to set the example
by "giving a 25 percent discount" for that cooperation.

While
Schaap eventually took responsibility for his actions Schaap initially
denied the allegations when he was confronted by church officials,
Lozano said. In explanations for the stiffer sentence, the judge pointed
to Schaap's attempts to get rid of evidence by deleting text messages
and photos of him with the girl and that the pastor also fired at least
one church staffer who had questioned the pastor's relationship with the
girl, Lozano said.

About 70 church members were in attendence at
the hearing, with many of them bowing their heads as if in prayer. The
girl's family declined comment.

More than 100 letters of support
were sent to Lozano, attesting to decades of good works by the pastor,
and claiming that stress and health problems— including prostate
troubles and “low lithium levels”— led Schaap to stray during a romantic
relationship with the vulnerable teen.

During his sentencing,
Schaap referred to a news story about rescuers saving people who had
fallen through ice and said, at first, his intentions had been
honorable.

“I thought I wanted to be this family’s savior,”
Schaap said. “Sometimes people try to be heroes … in trying to be a
hero, I became a fool.”

He apologized to his wife, children and
parents and urged the congregation of Hammond Baptist to show compassion
for the victim and her family.

Lozano
noted that in the aftermath of the scandal, the girl was expelled from
Hammond Baptist High School and the family from the church.

Schaap’s
wife, Cindy, who describes her husband’s affair with the girl as
“consensual,” said her husband was suffering from “a severe case of
prostatitis” and complained of exhaustion during the time he now admits
he was involved in a sexual relationship with the victim.

“I feel compelled to ask once more for leniency in my husband’s sentencing,” she wrote.

Prosecutors
had asked for a sentence of 10 years in prison, saying the evidence
against Schaap depicts a church leader who used his “inside track to
God” to take advantage of the girl, who turned 17 during the
relationship.

In a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors
said that Schaap “groomed” the victim and exchanged nearly 700 text
messages, phone calls and love letters with the girl. They point to
evidence including photographs found on his computer that show Schaap
kissing and groping the victim.

“Photographs taken at (Schaap’s
home) feature the defendant grinning like a Cheshire cat while rubbing
cheeks with the victim, and, in another shot, engaging the victim in
what one witness described as a ‘very romantic lip-lock,’" prosecutors
said.

“Rather than stress, exhaustion, depression or medical
maladies causing Defendant’s criminal conduct, the findings of the
government’s investigation suggest that it was lust, hubris and poor
judgment that prompted Defendant’s much-deserved fall from grace.”

The photographs were taken at Schaap’s home in far south suburban Crete, and at his cabin in Cadillac, Mich.

Schaap
had a church member and her daughter bring the girl to Michigan for
intensive counseling, and the same church member twice brought the girl
to meet with Schaap at a forest preserve in Illinois, where Schaap told
staffers he went once a week to “spend time with God walking and
praying.” From there he took the girl to his home in Crete.

Schaap
also had encounters with the girl that violated state laws regarding
sex with minors at his office in Indiana. Criminal charges he faces in
the three states are to be dropped as part of his federal plea deal.
Schaap will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
The judge also sentenced to 5 years of supervised release after he
completes his prison term.

Upon leaving the hearing, a church member who would not give his name said, "I think he probably got what he deserved."

About Me (Also on FaceBook, shared with everyone):

I must address something that some have suggested about this my blog: "True Christianity vs Roman Catholicism"!
Thankfully, some words have more than one definition! Perhaps it decries the poverty in one's vocabulary to not know this! Therefore, by definition "vs" (versus) ALSO may signify "IN CONTRAST TO."
I would think that the efforts I here make to REACH Roman Catholics would make it obvious to any rational being that I am not AGAINST them! I am against their INSTITUTION, which seeks to keep them blind to the truth of the word of God!
I was raised a Roman Catholic, and was in literal shock when first I read the New Testament! It was only then I realized just what it meant to be a True Bible Believing Christian! I thank God for this discovery!
I have been a Bible-believer for the past 15 years. Praise God He drew me and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
My life's mission is to get as many Roman Catholics out of the cult in which they are, quite innocently.
John 6:44a "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him"
Thank you, my dear God, for drawing me into Your fold!

I am the LORD: my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.(Is 42:5-8)

14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (King James Bible)

Madonna and Child "Semiramis became known as the "queen of heaven," and was the prototype from which all other pagan goddesses came." --World Religions by David Terrell - // "Semiramis, in particular was the model and original of every goddess and female cult figure in the ancient and modern worlds." --SEMIRAMIS, QUEEN OF BABYLON by Bryce Self

The following pictures show the lengths to which the Roman Catholic Church will PROSTITUTE ITSELF!

Here is Pope John Paul II confidently being anointed with the PAGAN "Sign of the Tilak" - A PAGAN RELIGION, NO LESS!!

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to graven images. Isaiah 42:8 (KJB)

John Paul II places Buddha ATOP the Tabernacle, in Assisi, to be WORSHIPPED TOGETHER WITH THE EUCHARIST during the ensuing ECUMENICAL ceremony with Buddhists! Here you see a Buddhist elevating his arms at the Altar!

...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thess 2:4

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 KJB

MARY WORSHIP: 1987-MAR-25: In his encyclical Redemptoris Mater, Pope John Paul II "referred to Mary as 'Mediatrix' three times, and as 'Advocate' twice." AND SO, TODAY, THE ROMAN CATHOLICS HAVE HER AS JUST THAT!!

And Roman Catholics notice not the Pagan fish-hat connection? Such satanic-induced blindness!

The Pope's and Pagan Dagon's hats and vestments are alike!
